I’m testing the theory that I’m allergic to foods of some sort…or I’m not equalizing the right nutrients. Too much of anything is bad…you need the opposite chemicals to balance things in your system… this is my THEORY. If you have any ideas why it stinks or why I sweat soooooo profusely…pleeeaase, let me know. And yes I have asked doctors ( plural ) oppinions! They say not to worry…I can’t stand it! I need to do something about it! Yes, it’s disgusting…yea, I don’t need to hear about that fact! Real knowledge only please!
Sweat itself doesn’t smell. The smell is activated by bacteria on the skin. Try showering with an antibacterial soap before bed and see if that helps.
Your condition of excessive sweating is called sleep hyperhidrosis. If you are otherwise healthy, it is a nuisance, but not something to worry about. There are many disesases and conditions that cause night sweats, but they would have been discovered if you have seen docs.
Good luck with it.
to me i consider the song sad.. because..
a flood began when heavy rains pounded the central basin of the Mississippi in the summer of 1926. By September, the Mississippi’s tributaries in Kansas and Iowa were swollen to capacity. On New Year’s Day of 1927, the Cumberland River at Nashville topped levees at 56.2 feet (17 m).
The Mississippi River broke out of its levee system in 145 places and flooded 27,000 square miles (70,000 km2). The area was inundated up to a depth of 30 feet (10 m). The flood caused over $400 million in damages and killed 246 people in seven states.
The flood affected Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. Arkansas was hardest hit, with 14% of its territory covered by floodwaters. By May 1927, the Mississippi River below Memphis, Tennessee, reached a width of 60 miles (97 km)…
do u guys conside the song by a perfect circle song was some wut touching?
I don’t consider it a song by Perfect Circle at all. It was originally written by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in the twenties. Then much more famously than either singing group, Led Zeppelin. Why do these second rate bands have to rip off good music?
Sure, it’s sad, but Katrina was worse.
dear friend 
i need ur help 
i don’t know how i start this Greating :S i just said evening
also if u have any add information plz add it ^^
Good evening,
Today I will talk about one of the world’s leading countries that achieved success in so many fields. In spit the fact of being an island, Great Britain has a made huge achievement and significant attribute in the globe.
Great Britain, That European country, which is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea, includes four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The English territories cover approximately 245,000 square kilometers and it has three main rivers flow through its land. Humber, Severn and The River Thames, which is the best known river in England, crosses London the capital and other nearby towns and cities.
In terms of the political system that England applies, monarchy is the county’s common system of leadership. Since the Queen Elizabeth is the constitutional monarchy, England will be ruled by her family from generation to another.
According to the last census that was conducted in UK, the total population was approximately 59,000,000. However, the population in London only was London 8.5 millions. This means that 15% of the entire population is located in London the capital. The main language in England is English, obviously, although there are many languages that are spoken there by numbers groups, as well. As for the religion that most likely to be found in UK, Christianity is the most common religion among the public. Still, there are many religions like Islam and Judaism that can be found in England because of the immigration that has the upper hand in the increasing of the population and the multiplicity of religions, languages.
Because of the presence of the famous land mark in London, Great Britain is considered as the perfect destination for holydays. Beg Ben, The most famous tower that stands in London is being recognized as the world’s biggest clock. Also, Bridge Tower of London the first bridge built in the city over the River Thames. And last but not least, the Westminster Abbey where the tombs of the kings of the kingdom are.
As one of the leading country in the world, UK should have a massive economic system. UK Today is the sixth largest economy in the world and the third largest in Europe after Germany and France. The British economy now is made up of the economies of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. However each country has a separate economic system on its own.
To sum up, going through the special qualities that Britain possesses we come to see an outstanding country character. What UK it is now, is a result of the ability to interact and trade experiences with other cultures.
It is good but there are a lot of factual errors. Here is a corrected version:
Good evening, today I will talk about one of the world’s leading countries that achieves success in so many fields, the UK has a made a significant attribute in the globe. The UK has a massive economic system. Today it is the sixth largest economy in the world and the third largest in Europe after Germany and France.
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a European country surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea. The country is very unique as it includes the unity of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to form one country, the UK.
According to the last census that was conducted in UK, the total population was approximately 59 million yet more recent estimates in 2009 suggest the population is at 61 million. The Greater London Urban Area has a population of over 8 million which means it hold 13% of the UK’s population and is one of the busiest cities in the world. The main language spoken in the UK is English, although there are many other languages spoken such as Welsh and Gaelic.
The presence of famous land marks such as Big Ben in London is one of the reasons why so many people visit the country and why it’s a popular destination for holidays. Beg Ben, the most famous tower that stands in London is recognised as the world’s biggest clock. Throughout the countries are also plenty of examples of outstanding natural beauty such as Loch Lomond in Scotland. Wales also boasts Pembrokeshire coast, and Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland is considered a natural wonder.
To sum up, going through the special qualities that the UK possesses we come to see an outstanding character. What the United Kingdom is now, is a result of the ability to interact and trade experiences with other cultures.
NOTES:
- You’re getting the terms England, Great Britain and the UK mixed up. England is a country within the United Kingdom. Great Britain is an island, not a country.
- The Queen doesn’t run the UK. She is the Queen of the UK, not England. Gordon Brown is the current Prime Minister who runs the UK.
- What country are you from?
Hope this helps.

The science club purchased tickets for a magic show. They paid $108 for 6 tickets in section A and 10 tickets in section B. The following week, they paid $104 for 4 tickets in section A and 12 tickets in section B.
1. Write a system of equations to represent the problem.
2. What are the prices of the tickets in section A and B?
Show work please.
Thanks
eq 1: 3x – 2y = 0
eq2: x + 6y = 5
in eq 2 subtract 6y from each side
x = 5 – 6y
substitute this into eq 1:
3(5- 6y) – 2y = 0
multiply out:
3*5 – 3*6y -2y = 0
15 – 18y -2y = 0
collect terms:
15 – 20y = 0
subtract 15 from both sides
-20y = -15y
divide both sides by -20
y = -15 / – 20
do arithmetic
y = 3/4 = 0.75
put this back into either of the equations and solve for x
See by this deal we will get Uranium from others country for our Atomic Power Electric plants, and India going to make new plants in many numbers by importing this plants.Even the present plant are not run with full capacity due to shortage of uranium.
If we build more plants than we are more depend on these uranium suppler country.It is not a risky, will not a burden in future for our power requirement ?It is also a costly production system of electricity.
Other side we have very rich rivers and Sh.Atal jee have made a plan to join the all rivers and build the Hydro-projects for electric production,Hydro-electricity is most economical per unit production.The joining the rivers also solve the problems of flood in many state of Nation,which badly effects every year and every year so much thousand Crores of rupees goes waste.
What is the vision of our great Economist PM,it is understandable now !
And it is also in dark what are the agreements have done with America and AIAE.Even Parliament members are not known about the real facts,agreement is not discussed in Parliament, information have not been given to the members of Parliament.Where American Congress members have the copies of agreements.It is not shows the real picture of Manmohan singh and Sonia Gandhi ?
@ms…. What you have in the your skill that is well shown by your post,what ever Abdul Kalam said is other matter not for the energy security for future of India.Depending on others always wrong for the nation and it is for the energy,can you understand what is the pros & cons of this ?If not understand read Rangde’s post.
@ Congress ki jeet…..I am well aware about the all developments of India and Congress party.
Joining river plan is not a dream it was well planed by all research with all pros&cons.You have said about Thorium plant same have suggested by Dr.Abdul Kalam but Congress leading government have not listen it. You know where we have the Thorium resources ? at the below of ‘Ram-setu" and Congress going to destroy it by making the passage for ships.Who have made this plan and why ?In the name of developments they are making India to dependent to other country as like America and World bank.
Why Manmohan singh have left the Iran-Pakistan-India Gas pipe line under the guide line of America ?Mr.Mani Ratnam have opposed this but he replace by Murli Devda immediately.This gas line is very economical and safe energy for India.
You are blind follower of congress,so you can’t see the real reason behind this game of Manmohan singh and congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
Congress is most corrupt party.
@……. jai ho.. who believe rediff.com as news of fact ?
Suresh prabhu have made all the projects practically but it takes time to implement because it involve so many state.It was the really a good project but Congress have other mission or incapable to do this type of project .
Why you have keep mum on Iraq gas pipeline ? Because you have no answer.Corrupt congress have did the deal with America on this project.
Don’t show you mental level here in every post,we can understand you by your name.
@ congress……. Why SP and Mayawati have given support and how congress have manage it, every body have seen it and understand it well.
You forget what Ramsetu have, not only the faith of majority of India even very rich resources of Thorium, under the Ramsetu.Destroying the Ramsetu destroying the Thorium,it can do only by the anti-national activator.It seems you are also belong to the same group.
@congress… than you are working for congress,by the way in which department ?
It seems that you are mindless and useless person and member of Chmcha-Team of congress.Don’t laugh so much,people will take you in mental hospital and you will never shut your mouth in this life,be conscious before your parent throw you out from home.
I agree. This deal is a form of neo-colonialism. Unfortunately the city-dwelling educated classes, who seldom vote, rejoice in the extinction of countervailing political forces in the recent elections, little realising that they are putting future generation into geopardy. A total nationalistic spirit is lacking in the political class today and the brunt will be borne by the future generations. The MBAs of IIM, graduates of IITs elite of JNU, the Harvard, Cambridge educated socialites, the decadent capitalists et al have a lethal combination which would vulgarise the Indian economy as well as the polity. Atalji’s vision would go to history books soon or rather to archives. I wonder whether another Jayaprakash Narayan will emerge in the society to save it from any future possible calamity to democracy.

A riverboat travels downstream 8 km in 1 hour and returns the same distance in 1.5 hours.
Find the speed of the riverboat in still water and the speed of the river’s current; using a system of equations.
Please help!
Total Distance = 16Km
Total Time = 2.5Hr
Speed in still water = 16/2.5 = 6.4 Km/hr
‘Excess distance’ downstream = 8 – 6.4 = 1.6
Therefore current = 1.6Km/hr
The purpose of this lecture is to establish the fact that it is just as easy to prove Islam using a proof-text method of appeal to the Bible as it is to prove any of the forms of Christianity that use that method. It is not the intention to suggest that the proof-text method is sufficient or even valid. In a systematic review such as this, it is necessary to note all convolutions. The desire to show to what extent the Bible is the common property of Middle Eastern religions, at least on some level, leads to the necessity of approaching the text from a proof-text point of view as well as from more sophisticated methods.
Before approaching the specifics, a pilot project that seeks to establish whether basic Islamic issues are to be found in the Bible is in order. If they cannot be found, then it is of no use to take the trouble of further examination. The specific issues chosen for this task are those fundamentals known in Shi’ite Islam as the roots of faith. We have already examined the Sunnite pillars of faith in some detail. Rather that going into such detail at this point for the roots according to Shi’ite Islam, we shall merely make a brief mention of each one. However, some of them are amplified by related issues that appear important because of Christian doctrine.
These roots of faith are five. The first is the oneness of God. This is amplified here by texts relating to the belief that God does not incarnate, that there is no salvation in the son of man, and that God is changeless. The second root of faith is the justice of God. The third root of faith is prophethood. This has already been examined in general in the light of many texts above, but here the particular reference to Muhammad is mentioned. This will form the focus of latter discussion as well. The principle of divine guidance is the fourth root. This is amplified by a Biblical reference to the word Ali. The final principle of faith is the Day of Judgment, which has also been dealt with in detail above, but is here amplified by its relationship to the gospel or message of Jesus (as).
I have given a transliteration of the proof-texts underlining the significant portions. This is expecially necessary in the two or three cases in which I have radically disagreed with the commonly used translations.
There is only one God.
Psalms 86:10 (Hebrew) atta Elohim levaddekha. For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
Isaiah 45:5 (Hebrew) ani YHWH we-en ‘odh zulathi en elohim: a-azerkha welo yedha’tani. I am the LORD, and there is no other, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me.
That one God is just, and the only Saviour.
Isaiah 45:21 (Hebrew) Haggidhu wehaggishu af yiwwa’atzu yakhdaw: mi hishmia’ zoth miqqedhem me-az higgidhah halo ani YHWH we-en odh elohim mibbal’adhi el tzaddiq umoshia’ ayin zohathi. Tell it, and bring them near; indeed, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no other God beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
God is not a man or the Son of man.
Numbers 23:19 (Hebrew) lo ish el wikhazzev uven adham weyithnetham: hahu amar welo ya’ase wedhibber welo yeqimenna. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: has he said so, and shall he not do so? or has he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Notice that according to the text God is not a human being, not “the son of man,” not any “person” or “persons” at all, not one person nor three persons.
The Son of man cannot save you.
Psalms 146:3 (Hebrew) al tivtkhu vindhivim: beven adham she-en lo theshu’a. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
God does not change.
pasa dosiv agayh kai pan dwrhma teleion anwyen estin katabainon apo tou patrov twn fwtwn par w ouk eni parallagh h trophv aposkiasma James 1:17 (Greek) pasa dosis agathe kai pan dorema teleion anothen estin katabainon apo tou patros ton foton par o ouk eni parallage e tropes aposkiasma. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
If God does not change, as this Bible passage and several others maintain, then God does not incarnate, since incarnation requires change. God does not change into anything, not even a man.
God reveals His message to humankind through His servants the prophets.
Amos 3:7 (Hebrew) ki lo ya’ase adhonay YHWH davar ki im gala sodho el ‘avdhaw hannevi-im. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he will reveal his secret to his servants the prophets.
Many people will not believe the message of God through Muhammad (as).
Psalm 106:24 (Hebrew) wayyim-asu be-eretz Hamda: lo he-eminu lidhvaro. Indeed they despise the land of Muhammad, they do not believe his word.
The biased translator wishes to translate the name Muhammad, thus making “pleasant land” instead of “the land of Muhammad.” But this is not possible, because the sentence goes on to say “his word.” The possessive pronoun is masculine, showing Hamda to be a proper masculine name, rather than a feminine common noun as the ending might suggest. There are a number of such names in the Bible, feminine in form but masculine in meaning.
God made Abraham (as) a guide for all nations, in the following words spoken to him.
Genesis 12: 3 (Hebrew) wa-avarkha mevarakhekha umqallelkha a-or: wenivrekhu vekha kol mishpekhoth ha-adhama. And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Moses (as) prayed for a divinely appointed guide to come after him.
Numbers 27: 16 (Hebrew) Yifqodh YHWH Elohe harokhoth lekhol basar: ish ‘al ha’edha. asher yetze lifnehem wa-asher yavo lifnehem wa-asher yotzi-em wa-asher yevi-em: welo thiheye ‘adhath YHWH katz-tzon asher en lahem ro’e. Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, set a man over the congregation, 17 Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
The principle of a divinely appointed leader goes back earlier than Moses (as), but here we see Moses (as) praying on behalf of one such figure.
Moses (as) invoked the name of Ali (as) in speaking to the Pharaoh.
Exodus 8:5(9) (Hebrew) wayyomer Moshe lefar’o hithpa-er ‘Ali lemathay a’tir lekha wela’avadhekha ul’ammekha lehakhrith hatzfarde’immimmekha umibbattekha raq baye-or tish-sha-arna. And Moses said to Pharaoh, Glorify Ali: when shall I intreat for you, and for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only?
The translation which says “Glory over me” simply does not make sense.
The people of Israel sang about Ali (as) as they walked in the wilderness.
Numbers 21:17 (Hebrew) az yashir yisra-el eth hash-shira hazzoth ‘Ali ve-er ‘enu lah. Then Israel sang this song, Ali (the Exalted one) is a well (of water); sing to it.
The translation that says “Rise up, O well” only fits a surealistic painting. In reality, wells do not fly.
David (as) prophesied the coming of Islam.
Psalms 29:11 YHWH ‘oz le’ammo yitten: YHWH yevarekh eth ‘ammo vash-shalom. The LORD will give strength to his people; the LORD will bless his people with Islam.
The word Islam is cognate with the Hebrew word for “peace.” It is the proclamation of reconciliation and peace, not only between God and humankind, but between one nation and another, one family and another, one individual and another. It also reconciles the opposing “parts” into which humankind would divide the impartial God into the one true God without parts and without limitations. Islam, meaning peace, is peace in every possible sense.
God will forgive those who pray towards His house, according to the petition of Solomon (as).
1 Kings 8:30 (Hebrew) weshama’ta el tekhinnath ‘avdekha we’ammekha yisra-el asher yithfallu el hammaqom hazze: we-atta tishma’ el meqom shivtekha el hash-shamayim weshama’ta wesalakheta. And listen to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.
Forgiveness depends on the grace of the one true God alone, with nothing added, no sacrifice human or otherwise. It is offered to those who turn in prostration toward Him, repenting and asking forgiveness.
God will take vengeance on the wicked and reward His worshippers on the day of judgement, as He promised Moses (as).
Deuteronomy 32:41-43 (Hebrew) im shannothi beraq kharbi wethokhez bemishpot yadhi: ashiv naqam letzaray we limsan-ay ashallem. ashkir khitz-tzay middam wekharbi tokhal basar: middam khalal weshivya merosh par’oth oyev. harninu ghoyim ‘ammo ki dham ‘avadhaw yiqqom: wenaqam yashiv le’atzaw wekhifer adhamatho ‘ammo. 41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
Of nearly one hundred texts mentioning the Gospel, only one actually tells us what the message of the Gospel contains, the Gospel in a nutshell.
Revelation 14:6,7 kai eidon aggelon petomenon en mesouranhmati econta euaggelion aiwnion euaggelisai touv kayhmenouv epi thv ghv kai epi pan eynov kai fulhn kai glwssan kai laon. legwn en fwnh megalh fobhyhte ton yeon kai dote autw doxan oti hlyen h wra thv krisewv autou kai proskunhsate tw poihsanti ton ouranon kai thn ghn kai thn yalassan kai phgav udatwn. Revelation 14:6-7 (Greek) kai eidon angelon petomenon en mesuranemati ekhonta evangelion aionion evangelisai tus kathemenus epi tes ges kai epi pan ethnos kai fylen kai glossan kai laon: legon en fone megale fobithete ton theon kai dote avto doksan oti elthen e ora tes kriseos avtu kai proskynesate to poiesanti ton uranon kai ten gen kai ten thalassan kai pegas ydaton. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
The Gospel in a nutshell is three commands: Fear God (that is, do as God commands instead of conforming to what the neighbor thinks), glorify God (that is, recognize God alone as the source of all good things and give thanks to Him), and pray to Him in prostration. The Gospel gives two explanations for these commands: everyone is going to be held accountable to God in the judgement, and God is deserving of worship and obedience because He is the Creator of all things.
Obviously it is necessary to go beyond a mere proof-text method. However, the experiment of proof-texting shows that Islam is clearly as capable of being established on the basis of proof texts as any tradition that has ever appealed to texts as evidence of its system of doctrine and practice.

How can you say faith mae u agree or disagree, worshipping God sholdnt be complecated it should be clear and the bible is truely not clear there is no way u can understand it without it contridicting itsself even bible scholas cannot understand and explain the context.
God would not mae such a big part of life so confusing for us
thesis is supposd to be first sentence.
question is to asses the statement
The statement, “The South never had a chance to win the Civil War” is very valid when looking at the military, economic, and political characteristics of the Confederate States of America. When looking at the preparation the Confederacy did for the war and comparing it to the preparation the Union did for the war, the Confederacy’s military was not as good, its economy was not as strong, and its politics were problematic.
The first problem was the politics of the Confederacy. When the country needed money, it turned to “greenbacks.” This was when money was printed without and gold or silver to back it. Even though this was a good source for currency, it caused massive inflation. It is estimated that when this money was printed, inflation of over 9,000 percent occurred throughout the nation. In the North, the major source of money was bonds. Bonds are loans that the government takes from people. During the war, it is estimated that there was only an inflation of 150 percent, not nearly as much as in the Confederacy. Another difference between the economies of the two sides was trade. In the North, they were able to continue foreign trade and market because the war was being fought in the South. However, in the South, the North had created a naval blockade and it was difficult for the South to continue cotton export to countries like England and France. Later in the war, the North had also gained control o the Mississippi River, and so the Confederacy lost its major ports in Louisiana. Finally, the Confederacy did not have any foreign recognition. At first, England and France recognized the Confederacy because of the King Cotton Diplomacy, which was the belief that the South’s major export, cotton, would win them foreign recognition. However, these two countries did not take any sides during the war and did not help the Confederacy. Since the South had a weak economy and no foreign aid, it was very hard for the country to financially support itself during the war.
The second problem with the Confederacy was its politics. When the Confederacy was formed, it was based off of the Constitution of the United Stated but it had two major differences. First, it allowed slavery in the Confederacy, and second, it gave the individual states more power. The power given to the states was problematic because when the states were not at in agreement over something, the central government did not necessarily have the final decision. Even if there was a decision made by the central government, an individual state could overthrow that decision for just that territory. For example, the governors of Georgia and North Carolina (Joseph Brown and Zebulon M. Vance, respectively) would keep their state militias as separate as possible from the nationwide army. The North had a better situation with its politics because it was not a new nation and it had a centralized government that could make final decisions.
The final problem with the Confederacy was its military. Since it had a weak economy and no foreign aid, it was very hard to support the war financially. They also had bad military experiences from the start. In the beginning of the war General Winfield Scott (Union) created the Anaconda Plan for defeating the Confederacy. The three main points of this plan were to have a naval blockade, take control of the Mississippi River, and capture Richmond, VA (Confederate Capital). Since there was a naval blockade, the South already had limited resources to fight the war. At the Siege at Vicksburg, Union General Ulysses S. Grant gained control of the Mississippi which in turn completed the naval blockade as well as dividing the Confederacy and stopping all foreign trade.
Now even though there are all of these Union victories disabling the Confederacy, the Confederates did do very well the beginning of the war. They won the First Battle of Bull Run, which was the first major battle of the Civil War. They were able to prevent the Union from capturing the capital at Richmond, VA. They forced the Union General George B. McClellan to retreat at the Seven Days Battle and won again at the Second Battle of Bull Run. Since the Confederacy had all of these early victories, it could be said that the South did have a chance to win the Civil War. However, it is most likely Union flaw because the Union Generals who lost these battles were later removed.
In conclusion, the statement “The South never had a chance to win the Civil War” is very valid. Its military was not as good as the military of the North, the economy was very weak compared to that of the North, and the politics were not as strong as the experienced government system in the North.

changed second topic sentence to: The politics of the Confederacy were also a problem during the Civil War.
“The South never had a chance to win the Civil War” is not a valid statement in my opinion.
The South almost won the civil war when it defeated the North at Antietam and then invaded Pennsylvania. If General Lee had not been so aggressive at Gettysburg, attacking entrenched Union line at Cemetery Ridge, and ruining his army, the South could have gone on to capture Washington DC and win the war. If General Longstreet had been in charge at Gettysburg, he would have slipped away and entrenched the army between the Union army and Washington DC and allowed the Union army to destroy itself attaching the entrenched Confederates, then taken Washington and end the war. Only because Lee could not think defensively at this point, and Longstreet was ignored, was why the North won Gettysburg. But it was a real close thing!
